Hanging By The Pool | (Mike&Emily)
Mike knew never to trust things that went bump in the night.. And as of late, bump in the daytime. His fingers tapped the strap of his backpack as he thought for a moment, ignoring Emilyâs question. âLetâs just act natural..Make it through the halls and we can head out the back by the library.â He nodded at his plan that he thought of in his mind. He then headed to the doors, checking the halls. They were eerily quiet. He swallowed then slid out and into the hall as he made his way to the door heâd planned to go through. âSoâŠEver ditched before?â He asked Emily, hoping she had followed. He was too focused on his current mission to make sure she hadnât fallen behind. He made it to the doors and pushed them open, stepping out into the sunlight. He let out a sigh of relief.Â
â )Â When an answer to the question did not come, the older of the two started to feel annoyed. A complete explanation was deserved. Especially after everything that had happened to the high school senior. Yet, the young woman soundlessly followed the younger student as he started towards the hallway. The eerie silence caused a chill to run down the youthâs spine. Things were far too quiet. Sliding out in a similar fashion, lips parted so that an answer to his question could be provided. âNo, I havenât ditched before. Iâve been absent when I wasnât really sick, but Iâve never done anything like this before.â Exiting the building, rays of sunlight beamed down. The warmth was instantly welcomed. However, a look of determination came to her face as she halted in her tracks. âWeâre not going anywhere else until you tell me whatâs going on. Why are you on edge?â
Mike stopped when the question was asked. He looked around just to make sure no one was around, hoping they'd have enough time for some chit-chat. He slid his hands into his pockets and met the swimmer's eyes. He shrugged, "It's nothing. That person I cancelled our plans with just kinda freaks me out a bit. I wouldn't want to do that to him again though." He said and nodded. "So that's maybe why I'm a little on edge." His eyes shifted a bit, looking around to make sure there were no teachers watching them.. Or someone else. "Look, let's just go and if you still want to talk about then we can. Can we take your car?"
